Being
geeks like we are, our lives pretty much revolve around technology.
Or maybe technology revolves around our lives. This week, we
discuss what we’re using day to day and how it makes our lives both
easier and more difficult at times. Some of it, you’d probably
guess (iPhones, Macbooks, gaming consoles), but there are some neat
ones, we think you’ll enjoy hearing about and looking
into.

Because we do use technology so much, the idea
of disconnect or disengaging from technology has a lot of appeal to
some people (Beej), while others tend to just shift their usage to
maintain a normal, adult lifestyle (Void). It all depends on your
personalities, and we discuss strategies that work for us so that
you can see some healthy, real-world ways you may be able to adopt
into your own routines.

And
then there’s the awesome technology that you think you’re gonna use
a ton, but instead, it just sits on a shelf, all alone and
abandoned. We talk about purchases that should have been awesome,
but totally fell short of expectations. Kind of like the Vive for
Void (though it’s still awesome tech), and the New 3DS for Beej
(which was switched for a PS Vita).

Plus,
there’s always speculation about what tech is on it’s way. We talk
about the stuff we’re particularly excited for. Like the
honest-to-goodness iPhone upgrade for the 10th anniversary,the newly announced
Nintendo Switch (formerly the NX), self-driving cars, augmented reality,
nanotechnology, and space colonization. Give us a shout and tell us
what you’re looking for!

About the Podcast

Being an adult is hard. So is being a geek. And an adult geek? Well, that's where we come in.
We're Beej and Void, and we've got more than a little experience in that area. We are life-long geeks and have managed to bring our geekery with us into adulthood and still be somewhat functional adults--you know, with families and jobs and that sort of thing.
We don't do toxic, and we don't do nerdrage. Our views on geekdom are positive and optimistic, and we believe that the most important part of being a geek is the people you get to geek out with.
Tightly focused discussions on specific topics drive the show. Striving to illustrate that it is entirely possible to be mega-geeks and responsible adults, we want to be your friend and create and open and positive geek community for everyone.
We started this podcast because we really want there to be a safe, welcoming, positive geek community for everyone. We want to talk about stuff we love, make friends, and most importantly, make sure that everyone feels appreciated and that there's a place for them. So whether your love is video games, comic books, movies, TV, fitness, computers and tech, or whatever else...come geek out with us. Let's be friends.
